The issue of instability attracted lot of attention of researchers in the early phase of
adoption of green revolution technology. It was found that adoption of new technology
had increased instability in foodgrains and agricultural production in India. This
conclusion was based on the period when improved technology had reached very small
area. This study shows that when a little longer period is taken into consideration, which
witnessed spread of improved technology to large area, the inference on increase in
instability due to adoption of new technology get totally refuted. Production of
foodgrains and total crop sector was much more stable in the recent period compared to
pre green revolution and first two decades of green revolution in the Country. This
indicates that Indian agriculture has developed a resilience to absorb various shocks in
supply caused by climatic and other factors. There is large variation in instability in
foodgrains production across states. Very high risk is involved in foodgrains production
in the states of Maharahtra, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat.
